True are false. electricity is a flow of negative charge?

False. 1. Electricity involves the movement of electrical charges. The most common case is the movement of electrons (a negative charge), but other possibilities exist, such as movement of charges through ions (positive or negative), or holes (positive). 2. Even stating that electricity IS a flow of charged particles is a gross and misleading simplification. An electrical current INVOLVES the flow of charges, but that does not fully describe an electrical current.


What is a continuous flow of positive charges called?

The continuous flow of positive charges is called current


What are the general items and methods related charges relationship with measurement of civil engineering work?

method-related charges


How do electrical charges flow in a series circuit?

The eletrical current goes out of the positive end to the first load and uses a fraction of its power in the first load then continues to the second load and it does the same as the first load and then it either goes to the negative end or goes in more loads until it reaches the negative end.


How many kinds of electric charge are there?

There are two. Positive + and Negative - Positive is carried by the proton and negative is carried by the electron. What is usually talked about when people talk about charge is electrical potential. At zero potential there are equal number of electrons and protons. But in the real world that seldom happens so electrical potential is correct the potential difference between the state of two objects. In other words which one has the most or least electrons compared to its number of protons. Since this is hard to count we are lucky that the excess one of the other creates an electrical field and we can measure the strength of the field as a measure of the charge. The most common device to do this is a voltmeter which measures the electrical potential difference between to conductors such as the ends of a battery. There are other devices to measure the magnitude of static electrical fields.

What the standard unit used to express a quantity of charges?

The unit of measurement for the quantity of an electrical charge is called an electrometer. The quantity of charge can also be measured in directly by a ballistic galvanmotere.


Neutrons have a balance of positive and negative electrical charges?

No, neutrons does not have any sort of electrical charge. They have neither positive nor negative charges.


The types of electrical charges are?

positive and negative


What is the difference between positive and negative charge?

Positive charge refers to an excess of protons in an atom, giving it a positive electrical charge. Negative charge, on the other hand, results from an excess of electrons in an atom, giving it a negative electrical charge. These charges interact differently in electrical fields, with positive charges attracting negative charges and repelling other positive charges.


What is the difference between positive and negative charges?

Positive and negative charges are fundamental properties of matter. Positive charges are associated with protons, which have a positive electrical charge, while negative charges are associated with electrons, which have a negative electrical charge. Opposite charges attract each other, while like charges repel. This interaction between positive and negative charges is what governs the behavior of electricity and magnetism.


What contains electrical charges in atom?

Electrons contain negative charges, and protons contain positive charges.


What are the three types of electrical charges?

The three types of electrical charges are positive, negative, and neutral. Positive charges are carried by protons, negative charges by electrons, and neutral charges have an equal number of protons and electrons.


What is total positive charges and negative are equal?

When the total positive charges are equal to the total negative charges in an atom or a molecule, the overall charge is neutral. This means that the number of protons (positive charges) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charges), resulting in a balanced electrical charge.


What type of energy is carried by moving negative charges?

That is the electric energy. It is called the electricity


What device separates positive and negative charges?

A device that can separate positive and negative charges is a capacitor. Capacitors store electrical energy by storing positive charges on one plate and negative charges on the other plate, creating an electric field between them.


What are the charges of protons electron and the nucleus?

Protons have a positive electrical charge.Neutrons are neutral.The atomic nucleus is positive.
